Blythe Face Mold Terms

Radiance Evolution: This face mold was presented in 2022 with the release of the 1st Neo Blythe manufactured by Good Smile Company. It based off the  Radiance Renewal mold

Radiance Renew: This face mold was introduced in May 2017. It was similar to Radiance and Radiance Plus but the internal structure was different. This mold made it easier to replace the scalp

Radiance Plus Blythe (RBL+): This face mold was introduced in 2013-2021. It was very similar to Radiance which was introduced in 2006

Fairest Blythe (FBL): They made their appearance in 2009

Radiance Blythe (RBL): This face mode became available in late 2006-2013. Customization was easier since it was no longer difficult to take apart the head

Superior Blythe (SBL): The third face mold. SBL Blythes are recognizable for their yellowish eyeballs. Takara is said to have scanned the original Kenner dolls face mold to closely resemble the SBL Blythe dolls

The SBL mold begun in 2003 and end in 2008. With the new SBL mold the eye mechanism made the dolls appear to be gazing downward. Takara later resolved this issue after the release of Blythe Silver Snow to make the dolls look upwards

Excellent Blythe (EBL): They were the 2nd face mold for Blythe and lasted during the period of 2001-2005. The EBL body type is reminisce of the original Kenner dolls. The boggled eye look was removed to showcase more of the dolls eyelids

BL: The face mold for the very first Blythe doll was the BL mold which was introduced in 2001 and lasted till 2002. A total of 6 dolls where manufactured with the BL face mold. The BL Blythes had boggled eyes, meaning they showed no eyelids and they also had Licca bodies
